I guess that could be a problem. I use a manual wheelchair, have done all my life, and just had a great six weeks out there renting a place in a city in Buriram because my home with my wife in the village is not 'wheelchair friendly' at the moment.

I guess this is off topic. Someone mentioned to me you had a wheelchair and I was wondering how you were doing. We were in Chiang Mai and even "our" village (near UThong) a couple of years ago. At that time I was still using a walker (rollator) and managed. We had a good time, even went to Luang Prabang, Laos. But I know what it means to be disabled in Thailand. Would like to talk with you some more off-line, PM perhaps. When will you return?

Supermarkets change their prices on a regular basis without the need to 'reprogram' their computers.

But the only thing gained by getting rid of the Satang coins would be an increase in prices...

David

Don't you think .25 would be rounded down and .50 up?

To discontinue the Satang coins would be a good idea. I always thought it was a pain when I had to pay my utility bill at 7/11. The only problem the utility company would probably have to reprogram their computers and so would Tesco and chain super markets.

Living in a country that went Decimal 38 years ago and changed from 240 pennies in the poun to only 100 pennies in the pound experience tells me that all prices would be rounded up.

I didn't know they went decimal only 38 years ago. Having grown up with decimal (Germany) I find it frustrating that here in the US not more progress is being made.

Besides prices are not only marked with 25 and 50 Satang, you can find prices with any number of Satangs. And if you don't want Satangs then you don't have to accept them in your change. Another thing I didn't notice or pay attention to. Looks like you have a lot more Thai experience than I do. I wished I could go back one more time but with a power wheel chair that is no longer feasible.
